Word is spreading among AUCPers that I am a major foodie. It's a constant topic of conversation, and more and more of my fellow classmates agree that it's only appropriate that we continue to taste test and experiment as much as we can in our 6 weeks that rest. When in Rome, right? Waistline worries aside, we're ready to taste test bakeries for breakfast out at the end of the week with Kiely (and Abby is to join us soon!) and check out the previously-ignored petit restaurants, cafés, and "snacks" within walking distance of our American Center bubble. I myself have said I WILL find the best coffee, teas, croissants, crêpes, vegetables, navettes, bagels ect ect around! I have my opinions so far, but there's plenty more out there to try!
Here's a sample of the week's best selections:
An American breakfast prepared by Alix earlier this week, it was a great little bit of nostalgia to have eggs & toast!
My lunchs this week: salad w/ tomatoes, grapes, and baguette & cheese sandwiches. I found a really good, parmesean-like cheese at the market Tuesday morning and it made my tummy smile all week!
A crêpe tree, or something like it. Chelsea and Kayla were lovely company for a Friday afternoon post-exams celebration. Accompaning the hot crêpes were nutella, apple butter, dark chocolate spreads and banana, pear, and warmed apple inserts, and whipped cream to top off our "make your own" experience. "Mix and match-y" definitely came into play here as we experimented for the best combinations! Good choice, girls.
The Mississipp-bound to be one of my favorites!
And dessert afterwards–for weeks I've resisted the divine-looking Americana desserts at Bagel Story, but for an afternoon of studying, I think sharing the NY Original Cheesecake (so they say) with berries on top was a good choice. Two spoons rationalizes any decision, right?
Gros Bisous,
